LPD For Fun and MP3 Playing

poop writes "Most true Unix geeks will recognize just how nice LPD is as a distributed queueing mechanism for managing all jobs sent to the printer. But, what most people don't realize is that LPD can be used for other things too. In fact, it can be viewed as a general queueing mechanism with a few added bells and whistles for printers. So let's examine a more interesting use of LPD, an engine for distributed spooling of MP3s." Bruha points out this mirror.

Yeah, but that would require two things:

1. For the slashdot crowd to stop regarding "the slashdot effect" as some sort of penis substitute.

2. For Rob and Taco to actually spend 0.00001 seconds pondering the concepts of "ethics" and/or "professionalism."

Not gonna happen in a million years.
